This is not a seasonal problem, its just that people notice it more in the summer because their windows are open and in the garden. This has been going on since I moved to my current address 7 years ago. The Police spent alot of time putting gates on the retail parks and speed humping McDonalds which did reduce it. Then the council allowed a Drive thru KFC in B&Q car park (Brilliant!) what did you think was going to happen. I am not convinced on the average speed camera solution as most of the noise is created from stand still burn outs and racing off the traffic lights.

How will average speed cameras eliminate the problem, when some of the worst offenders use reflective tape on their number plates so that they cannot be picked up by speed cameras? All of the car parks around the retail parks need to have barriers which are closed once the shops are shut.

I would like to hear an explanation as to why the police, knowing that this is something that happens very frequently, cannot spend a few man hours to stake out the places where this happens most frequently. If the problem is as bad as it sounds, they should be able to scoop up large amounts of offenders, bring them before the courts and have the results splashed across the press. Doing that. maybe just once a month for a few months, would prove a stronger deterrent than whatever they are doing now.

They obvioslu are perfectly aware of the problem and the steps they could take to stop all this nonsense but as yet have failed to come up with an idea that will make money! It's never about safety or disruption to lives!
